Hi PingSkills

I've a problem on my forehand smash

After I mastered the forehand topspin, my smashes are getting worse

After a lot of experience I think that it's about the timing

My smash timing is more likely the topspin timing and it make my smashes bad

How to fix it?

Please help me

Thank you very much

Hi Frendy,

They are different shots.  Think about starting the stroke for your smash higher and also make the contact a lot higher.  If you start the stroke low and contact it low you will have problems.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.

What about the angle of the bat?

if I close it then it will genrate topapin on it and if I open it I can't drag the ball down to the table and the ball will fly off

You need a mixture of the two.  A little spin and a little flat.  By hitting the ball from higher you have a straight line to the table.
